Alex joins us to talk about a zombie epidemic of apocalyptic proportions. He discusses his top 3 moments from The Walking Dead and Fearthe Walking Dead.

Alex talks the joys of Fargo and compiles a contentious list of television shows that are "better than the film they're based upon". Hoo-wee. Big calls made here. And a big Italopop tune to finish.
